16GB vs 32GB Ram: This Was UNEXPECTED!!

foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] what's up fellow martians so recently I upgraded my Ram from 16 gigabytes to 32 gigabytes wendigo places Spider-Man the new Modern Warfare 2 Beta some fortnite Apex you know all the AAA games that are all nowadays and I was just looking at my frame rate and then I thought to myself does having more RAM really make a difference when it comes to gaming I remember when I first got my PC and I had like four gigabytes of RAM and my games used to run like absolute trash like I was stuttering my frame rates couldn't even get to the minimum threshold and I'm like what the hell man like what's going on so soon after that upgraded eight gigs and everything was pretty cool until I started a video editing and I went to 16 and then oh my gosh Adobe on eight gigs of RAM is oh my gosh if you know you know but going from eight games to 16 gears I did see a little bit of a difference in my gaming especially if I'm gaming and watching a movie or streaming or watching a movie or streaming and gaming I saw a tremendous difference but from 16 to 13 two we're gonna see in this video I did five tests on five different games to see which memory had the best outcome for the FPS 16 gigabytes or 32 gigabytes so before we get into the video let's talk about how REM affects the gaming in the first place if you don't care about the technical side of things and don't really want to nerd out it's okay it's fun you can skip to the time code posted below to where I start to test the games out but if you do care let's talk a little bit now Ram stands from Random Access Memory it's basically a computer short term memory where the data that the process is currently used is stored Ram is much faster than an SSD or hsd that's why Ram is so important if you didn't have Ram your PC wouldn't even turn on No Cap whether it's a PC of Mac cell phone or even your smart TV it requires some amount of ram in order to run now in order to better understand Ram let's make an analogy to your work desk the top of your work desk is more like things you're working on currently and that you need to access quickly but for things that you don't need to access you would tend to put them into your drawer so in this case just like your PC the top of your desk is your RAM and your drawers are your ssds and your hard drives Ram is used for immediate data retrieval to accomplish a specific task computer operating systems load data from the hard drive and to the ramp to process it when it's finished actively working with the data your computer operating system would then put the data and stored in the ram back into your hard drive or your SSD so how much memory do you actually need and what can you do with certain amounts of memory with four gigabytes it's more for normal web browsing basic app usage and more for the Casual user eight gigabytes you'll be able to see more multitasking being handled on it is also the bare minimum for most games nowadays and when you get to 16 gigabytes the minimum for most Hardware gaming PCs you get into your more heavy duty multitasking more casual gaming and just better for just multitasking in general and 32 is when you get to the heavy programming hair hardcore gaming streaming it's what most editors and streamers use when it comes to their Ram now when it comes to gaming Ram is very important it is important because your system can access the data more quickly than they can access it from a HDD or an SSD if you have the entire games data stored on your hard drive or a solid state drive but constantly pulling it from there is insufficient thus your computer moves the game information it will need to the rim in order to quickly load it with low Ram your computer won't be able to store all the games info needs to run leading to choppy gameplay low frame rates and poor rendering and extreme like a ram will even prevent the game from working at all but when it comes to gaming can you have too much RAM let's find out tested five games fortnite the Modern Warfare 2 open Beta Apex Legends cyberpunk and Amazing Spider-Man for PC all these games to be tested on ddr4 Ram at 266 megahertz I will be using this phone follow me specs for my pc windows 11 and AMD ryzen 5 5600x 6 core processor and AMD Radeon rx67xt there's 16 gigabytes of RAM will be a crucial ballistic Sports LT and the 32 gigabytes of RAM will be a team group t-force Delta RGB the following games were all also tested on the highest graphical settings and at 1080p for the Modern Warfare 2 open Beta I actually saw something very interesting with the results well compared to two data's I actually saw that the 16 gigabytes had a higher FPS on average than the 32 gigabytes not by much only like a 0.5 margin but it was still higher the minimum frame rate was about around the same being around 98 FPS and the maximum for the 32 gigabytes was able to provide more being 175 FPS versus the 16 gigabytes 162 FPS for the one percent low frame rate the 16 gigabytes had 99.8 FPS compared to the 32 counterpart having only 29.6 FPS for a .01 low frame rate this 16 gigabytes has 69.4 FPS compared to 32 gigs having only 28.2 which is very interesting the game seems pretty optimized so I don't think you need to have 32 gigabytes to play Modern Warfare 2 if you when it comes out [Music] for the next game we have the Amazing Spider-Man for PC but 32 gigabytes of RAM that it tremendously outperforms 16 gigabytes the average frame rate is almost 30 more frames the 32 gigs of RAM had about 98.1 FPS while the 16 gigs had around 65.9 FPS the minimum frame rate for the 32 gigs was 92 while 47 was for the 16 gigs for the maximum frame rate it was around the same they both peaked around 95 frames per second and for the low one percent the 32 gigs had a 77.7 FPS while the 16 gigs only had a 36.6 FPS and for the one percent low frame rate around the same 77.74 to 32 gigabytes of RAM and for the 16 gigabytes 15.1 so if you want to play a Spider-Man on PC I definitely think 32 gigs is perfect so in the next game we have Apex Legends and what I saw from this data is that they basically had around the same frame rate for all the margins it capped out at around 443 frames per second for both the 16 gig and the 32 gig so if you want to play Apex Legends I think either one works either 16 gigabytes or 32 gigabytes for the minimum frame rate we had a 15.6 FPS for the 32 gig and for the 16 gigabytes we have 4.4 FPS the maximum frame rates were exactly the same at 145.1 FPS and with a low percent on the 32 gigabytes only being 108.2 FPS and for the 16 gigabytes being around 43.5 FPS for the 0.01 frame rate we have a 14.6 for the 32 gigs and for the 16 gigabytes we had a 3.3 FPS if you're looking to play Apex Legends only I don't recommend upgrading 32 gigs for this for this game 16 gigs should be successful enough [Music] next we have everybody's favorite game fortnite so fortnite was pretty interesting too because I saw some pretty similar data between the two different types of ram the 32 gigs had a 90 FPS while the 16 gear had around 86 FPS on average only about a 5 FPS difference between the two the minimum frame rate is around the same being around 42 frames per second and the maximum frame rate was also around the same clocking out at about 125 FPS for the one percent low frame rate this 32 gigs had a 21.1 FPS while the 16 gigs had about a 15.5 FPS not too far off even a .01 low frame rate was about the same as well be it at 2.9 FPS so if you're looking to play fortnite I definitely think 16 gigabytes is just enough [Music] lastly we have cyberpunk and for this game we also saw some pretty similar results as well the 32 gigs had a little higher frame rate being around 76.9 FPS on average while the 16 gigabytes had a 74.8 frame rate on average the minimum frame rate was about the same as well being around 60 frames per second which is pretty good for a story player game open world the maximum frame rate for the 32 gigs was around 400 it was around 460 which I think is because I paused the game mid game which probably could have boosted the average frame rate just a little bit but for the 16 gigs it was around 100 FPS so that's pretty good if you asked me for an open world game the one percent low frame rate for the 32 gigs is 45.2 FPS for the 16 gigs it was 46.7 FPS so a little higher and for the 0.01 low frame rate it was about 9.6 for the 32 gigabytes and for the 16 gig 11.2 so if you're looking to play cyberpunk or any open world game and that's fact I think 16 gigs is just enough now when looking back at the results I really didn't see too much of an improvement going from 16 gigabytes to 32 gigabytes it's probably because most games don't require more than eight gigs of RAM to even run properly if you have more RAM than what's required the extra Ram could actually be going to waste to illustrate this let's think about a storage container for liquid if you need to store a gallon of water but only have a half a gallon tank you're not going to be able to fit that whole gallon in that tank but let's say you have a 10 gallon tank yes you will be able to fit that gallon of water but you're also wasting nine gallons of space while it's good to have extra RAM for future proofing unused Ram is actually just a waste but don't get me wrong if you're streaming doing heavy video editing or just like opening a billion Google Chrome tabs then I think 32 gigabytes would be perfect for you I think you're future proofing yourself before in games become real life and you need at least 32 gigabytes to rent in them but I don't think we're gonna be there anytime soon so instead of upgrading you could possibly use that extra finish dollars for more computer accessories better fans a better cooling case or even a better processor just make sure to spend your money wise thank you for listening if you like the video
